There may be some who thought Jackson wasn’t worthy of a first-round pick, but you won’t find any of that nonsense here. While his rare talent as a runner set him apart from this year’s loaded quarterback class, it’s Jackson’s proven development and potential as a pure passer that makes him the biggest bargain in this year’s first round. After he spends some time behind Joe Flacco acclimating to the speed of the NFL game, Jackson could take the torch and lead the Ravens back into perennial playoff contention. Baltimore got the quarterback with the highest ceiling in the draft, and he was the fifth one off the board.
